when it comes to a wheel gun you either love them or you dont. bought my colt diamondback 4" nickel 38spl in 1978 new. i love this gun best and most reliable gun i have. been thru a lot of hand guns since then an they all were good. but none of them have been as reliable an accurate as my diamondback. carried it for a lot of years. still carry it from time to time. but the lighter guns do work better
